Warm Up # 9 ¾ • What are the four major limiting factors in an open ocean biome? • As you get deeper in an open ocean, what happens to the: • Nutrients • Sunlight • Temperature • Oxygen • Describe the intertidal zone biome. How are certain species able to live there (how do they adapt)?
Air Patterns • Warm air rises, cold air falls • hot and cold air mix = temperature inversion • Storms, tornadoes, Marine Layer • Warm Front – rush of warm air under cold air • Result: Storms (inversion)
Air Pressure and Extreme Weather Pressure: Air likes HIGH to LOW • Low High = storms • High Low = clear sky Warm water + warm wind: • Hurricanes – Atlantic • Typhoons – Pacific
Relating Heat and Humidity • Humidity = moisture in air (oceans) LOW PRESSURE HIGH PRESSURE Moisture leaves (rain) COOL, DRY AIR COLD, MOIST AIR (RAIN) Cool air falls, warms Warm air rises, cools Moisture absorbed (ocean) WARM, DRY AIR HOT, WET AIR LOW PRESSURE HIGH PRESSURE DRY SIDE HUMIDITY SIDE
Ferrel and Polar = Warm Moist Air RISING BOREAL FOREST Hadley and Ferrel= Cold, Dry Air FALLING DESERT Hadley and Hadley = Warm Moist Air RISING TROPICAL FOREST
Other Related Info Ozone Layer/Thermal Cap • Keeps heat in, keeps UV rays out Rain Shadow Effect • one side of mountain = moist • other side of mountain = dry Upwelling • Cycles nutrients/cold water up • El Nino – less upwelling/warmer waters
